Why not the Ravens? Granted, he’d be in a backup role. But he’d potentially be a good fit on team that desperately needs a veteran backup.
————————————–
I figured it would be the Ravens because Baltimore has said that Michael McAdoo is going to be moved to the practice squad, which would open up a spot on the active roster. If I remember correctly, after the first week of the season, money given to veterans signed at that time is no longer guaranteed. If I am wrong, never mind, but if I am right, the Ravens could sign Garrard, have him backup Flacco, and not have to guarantee any of the money given him should they decide that Tyrod Taylor is ultimately a better option.

Last year he was 13th in QB rating and 7th completion percentage. He’s roughly better than 20 of the 32 qbs in the league. He may not be elite but he won’t stink up the the place

is garrard willing to be a backup though?

They will be in the cellar again and move….NFL will call it fan indifference but reality is these people are worse than incompetent.

McCown has proven he cannot play. Gabbert is fine until he gets hit! Go back and watch his college games and see what happens after he gets hit a couple of times! Or, maybe look back at some high school games and see the same thing. He starts throwing the ball away or taking off running!

I can’t believe Jack snookered “Mr. Weaver” (first time I’ve heard him kiss his a$$ like that) again on this whole m.o. He must not be that bright.

When Cam inevitably gets hurt at some point (not sliding when he should most likely) we will have a competent backup. Clausen and Anderson together dont have the talent to hold Garrards jockstrap.

Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:14:30 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=152733#comment-1246160I could understand this move if Gabbert was going to start immediately. I understand that he is the QB of the future and needs a few games up to 1 season to get the hang of things. They could of traded him up to week 6, or at the end of the yr. Just to give Gabbert a mentor who has is used to handling the pressure of being the starting QB. Del Rio is going to feel like an idiot, if Garrard goes to a team that is more complete and repeats what he did in 2007.

Kolb needs a solid back up just in case he struggles or gets injured. And if Garrard had to play a full season there in that division he could take them into the playoffs

Wed, 07 Sep 2011 12:36:23 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=152733#comment-1246084Simple as to why they got rid of him. With Garrard, expectations are higher. With the rookie and McCown, pressure’s off, they’re “building for the future”…..Truth is, they’re winning 6 games either way, but in one scenario Del Rio gets fired, in the other he’s “building”, buys himself time, and saves the owner 8 big ones. Del Rio is brilliant and savvy.
